I sent in a report to -ports and ijliao@csie.nctu.edu.tw (who is listed
as maintainer for the t1lib port) on 4/6 that described the problem with
the t1lib port, namely that it has been upgraded to 1.0.1, and
apparently all of the GNU sites have taken 1.0 off the ftp servers. I
finally submitted a PR, number 18042 which handles the very simplistic
upgrade if you're interested. I have yet to receive any comments from
the maintainer or -ports.
